The bill HB417 proposes to modify the boundaries and corporate limits of the City of Eclectic in Elmore County, Alabama, by including various parcels of land totaling approximately 50 acres. The new legal language inserted into the current law provides detailed descriptions of the properties being annexed, including their boundaries, dimensions, and specific lots as per Pickett’s survey of the Town of Eclectic dated July 31, 1912. The bill aims to facilitate growth and development in the area by expanding the city's jurisdiction over these newly included territories. Additionally, a map illustrating the proposed changes will be available for public inspection in the office of the Judge of Probate in Elmore County.
The bill also establishes a new effective date for the act, set to commence on October 1, 2025, as indicated by the insertion of this date into the legal text. Importantly, there are no deletions from current law specified in the summary. The bill was passed by the House on March 19, 2025, and by the Senate on April 1, 2025, reflecting legislative support for the proposed changes to the city's boundaries.
